BMW Z4 Coupe 3.0SI to Nissan 370Z?

[A44RON]

Had my Z4 Coupe for almost two years now. And while it's exceeded expectations in many ways, I think it's time for a change into something a bit more modern and with a tad more power.

Still want the same ingredients - coupe, rwd, naturally-aspirated, minimum six cylinders, decent throttle response & sound etc.

Looking at a 2010-2012 Nissan 370Z, on paper they tick a lot of boxes. What's people's experiences of running a 370Z?

Cheers

Thanks

I did briefly consider a 2008 350Z, but the interiors are way behind the 370Z

Yup the engine is an absolute peach and very flexible as a daily.

Dynamically the Z4 Coupe 3.0SI handles better than the 370Z, but there's no denying the Nissan is outright faster. I like the GT pretentions of the 370Z too.

Z4 Coupe feels like a half-sports/half-GT car, which is not a bad thing. I just really fancy a 370Z now, they look fantastic and still maintains that old-school appeal

Tiff and Jason Plato said the Z4C handled very well (even when compared to Cayman) when they tested it on Fifth Gear. The Cayman obvs had the slighter edge.

The two seats are almost over the rear axle and the Z4C has sublime weight distribution.

Any Audi TT is a no from me (lifeless steering and understeer).
